In response to an amparo promoted by members of the CIDE community, the 12th district court ordered the National Council of Science and Technology (Conacyt) to make public the minutes of November 29 in which the appointment of José Antonio Romero Tellaeche as general director of the Center for Economic Research and Teaching (CIDE) was formalized.
It is a document that the director of Conacyt, María Elena Álvarez-Buylla, promised in December and before the students to make public, however, it is a promise that to date has not been fulfilled.
Even through different requests for information made by the CIDE community, as well as by Animal Político, Conacyt has refused to provide this information, objecting that the act is in the process of being protocolized.

“Warned that if you do not do so or do not manifest the legal impediment that assists you, you will be imposed a fine of fifty times the Measurement and Updating Unit in force in Mexico City,” reads the resolution issued by the court, which was shared by the Student Assembly.
“We are confident that the Judiciary will bring light to what they have tried to keep in the shadows,” the students stressed.
On November 29, in a session in which it was documented that there was no unanimity, the director of Conacyt appointed Romero Tellaeche as general director of CIDE. This is despite the fact that in the process of internal auscultation it was not well evaluated and that members of the board of directors expressed their rejection.
The decision caused a group of students to peacefully take over the premises of the research center where they remained for 45 days.
At the beginning of the new school year and with the current rejection of Romero Tellaeche as director of CIDE, members of the community entered on February 15 an amparo in which they requested the protection of the feral justice for the illegalities committed to the detriment of the institution, specifically related to the approval of the reforms to the General Statute of the CIDE with which it was sought to legitimize a posteriori the appointment of the director general, as well as the academic secretary of the institution.
The amparo presented was signed by more than 60 members of the CIDE community, including students, teachers and teaching staff.
